When I am not at work, I'm more likely to be seen in a pair of jeans than any other item of clothing.

I have jeans in sizes 12, 14 and 16 due to my ever fluctuating weight.

But...

...it came as a surprise to me just how many pairs of jeans I currently own.

We go on holiday (to Scotland - no surprise there!) on Saturday and as I have managed to lose a few pounds or so I decided that I needed to try on the aforementioned jeans to see which ones currently fit.

It took a while ...

...it seems that I have amassed 22 pairs of jeans!!!

I was gobsmacked - guess who doesn't need to buy any more jeans for a while?

A summery ceramic jelly mold with lemons on it, a delightful bunch of handmade button and felt flowers, pretty cupcake photo frame, lovely hand decorated tea light holder and a bundle of the most fabulous selection of ribbons and lace. How cute is that little cat on the handmade card? Oooh and look - yummy sweeties too.I love it all, thanks so much Wendy for being my swap partner.

Such lovely goodies - a vintage Womans Weekly from the 1980's, a pretty handmade pincushion using vintage embroidery, the most delightful vintage style necklace and just wait till you see what is in the little green box ...

...the most gorgeous vintage playing cards - aren't they delightful?
Another big thank you to Jenny.

Once I know that both of my swap parcels have reached their homes, I'll let you have a little look at what I sent.

About Me

I am 57 years young and live in Weardale one of the Durham Dales, and an area described as "Englands Last Wilderness". I have four now grown up "children", one son and three daughters. I am also the proud Nana of Felicity, otherwise known as Flic - aged 8 and more recently Catherine also known as Cat - born June 2015. I keep trying hard to lead a simpler more meaningful life but it sometimes feels an uphill struggle, however, I will get there! I love vintage home-wares and am forever on the lookout for new to me items to add to my home. I love to cook, enjoy a spot of jewellery making and like to try out various sewing projects and the odd bit of crochet.
